This company will supply a special remote to allow MR for about £25.
Do you mean its Region 2 only?
If it was region 1 it would be a US machine and require a voltage converter

Probably a daft question answered many times before; but why is it that the more high-end a DVD player you have, the harder it is to unlock the region coding? I got burned similarly by buying an expensive Sony ages ago; it was cheaper to buy another (el cheapo) player than to get it unlocked (with no guarantee it would even work)!
